Please join us in congratulating our two latest additions to the mod team! Wish them luck and thank them for volunteering their time to help with the management of PixelJoint! (we really needed the extra hand)

As some of you know, 2 weeks ago our community and the Pixel Art Discord server ran simultaneous weekly challenges to pixel each other's mascots. They have recently published their contest's results! Since not all PJers are members of both communities, we have taken the liberty to make the pieces that were submitted available to a greater audience.

It's once again time for our ever popular yearly April Fools Gallery challenge!

For those who do not know the rules yet, the idea is to study the PJ gallery of another pixel artist. Look at the techniques they use, the colours they pick, the subject matters they gravitate towards, etc... Then once you feel like you have a grasp of that person's style, create an image that will fool us into thinking that it's theirs.

Don't forget to mention the name of your chosen pixel artist in your description!

Anyone who has been a member here at Pixel Joint for some amount of time knows that our pixel art submission rules have not always been very clear. This has caused many misunderstandings over the years as to why certain pieces were admitted into the gallery while some other similar works were not, etc.

In an effort to reduce such problems in the future, your mod team has taken feedback received from the community over the last few months and have written an updated proposed set of rules and guidelines (call it version 2.0). Before these are made official, we wanted to share them with everyone to give you a chance to review and comment.

After much discussion, the pixel art submission rules have officially been updated! You can read them at the top of the submission page. Should you have any questions about the interpretation of any of these rules, please contact one of us on your moderation team!
